    Hollywood Video Used Sale

    I picked up Ghost in the Shell and Spriggan for $20 at my Hollywood. Not a bad deal considering that its tough finding good deals on pre-viewed Anime.

    What kind of memory should I get?

    The RAM you linked is Non-ECC; you were correct in assuming most computer memory is Non-ECC. Usually servers are the only things I've noticed that come standard with ECC memory.

    Everyone, try to get away from IE and Outlook

    Linux is simply not an option for a majority of computer users. I'm not going to install Linux on my parent's PC because all they want is a simple GUI, plug & play support for all their hardware, and compatibility for major software. OS X offers that, but the current price/perfomance ratio of...

    New Notebook owner and XP user

    Better yet, skin it with StyleXP (I'm using the Dynamine skin). Get Y'z Dock. Do Black Viper's services config, and his other XP tweaks as well. Other basic things, like setting a static swap-file size, running BootVis, etc. I just got my laptop about a month ago, for school as well...

    Sony Profits Plummet....

    I don't see how an increase in MS profits equates with an increase in Xbox hardware. They still lose money on each unit sold. They might be making a small profit with games and licensing, but not enough to recoup losses on the Xbox Live! front. Any and all Microsoft profits have to do with...

    Sony PSP specs..

    I thought one of the major gripes with development teams about the PS2 was that it had two CPUs. Now they make their handheld have the same thing?

    Looking for new laptop - What do you recommend?

    Just got my notebook this morning, and here are some quick thoughts: Pros: *Bee-Yoo-Tee-Full screen. I got the WSXGA 1680x1050, and besides one dead pixel near the bottom right corner of the screen, this thing is perfect. Excellent viewing angles, great brightness, sharp text, and NO...

    Looking for new laptop - What do you recommend?

    More X1000 reviews: Laptop Magazine TechTV SharpMatrix I'm not saying IBMs and Dells are better or worse; issues arise with nearly all of them. The issues for the X1000 so far seem to be driver conflicts that have been easily resolved. Concerning laptop build-quality, I was actually...

    More X-Boxes Sold Than GameCubes? Oh Really...

    I could see a company selling a lot of copies of "Armchair Videogame Tycoon", judging the number of responses to threads concerning who is #1,2,3, who sold the most consoles, games, who is making the most profit...

    Looking for new laptop - What do you recommend?

    Sony PSP comparable price to the GBA..

    About the whole DVD-quality playback of movies, have movie distributors jumped on the UMD bandwagon yet, or are we going to be limited to mainly Sony/Columbia pictures releases at the beginning? Also, for a piece of hardware that is about 15 months from expected release, I don't know how they...

    Acclaim dropping support for Gamecube

    I'm reading so many posts with suggestions by people about how the Gamecube is doomed. Could those people answer a few simple questions: 1)Even if the Gamecube is a much smaller source of revenue than the GBA, if they are still making money on it, why dump it? 2)Do you think the top...

    XBOX single player racer recommendations

    Rallisport, Burnout 2, Midnight Club II, and Quantum Redshift are all good racers. MotoGP 1 & 2 are two of the best racing games on any system, but they aren't easy to pick up. The satisfaction when you learn your timing and master the controls is second to none, however.

    Notebook recommendations for student entering university

    Nick, have you demoed a iBook running Jaguar? I suggest you do so before making a decision based solely on size. Also, what's your motivation for getting a laptop? I know some colleges specifically suggest incoming students purchase one (for certain majors), but most students entering college...

    Playstation PORTABLE!

    I think a main reason to launch at the end of 2004 is cost. Sony doesn't want to cannibalize their PS2/PS3 sales by releasing a portable that costs upwards of $150.

    Won contest, Need help on video game tv purchase, $1700 budget...

    While Richard has a point, why not spend the entire balance of the $1700 if it's not your money to begin with? Get a nice 16:9 set to replace your main one right now, or get a front projector and screen (the Infocus X1 is going for ~$1000 right now).

    Samsung 27" HDTV, Infocus X1, or something else?

    I think Comcast may plan on offering HDTV in the summer. As for the X1 vs. 27" argument, I'd say you should definitely demo the X1 first and forget about the Samsung. I have a feeling it will surprise you, and if you don't notice any rainbows, it's a no brainer.

    Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG vs. BMW M5

    Anybody else like the look of the M45? It's growing on me. I see shades of S-Class in the front, but the roofline is much more masculine.

    Mark, nobody here is going to give you a hard sell for/against the NGC. It's up to you to look at the titles currently released and upcoming, and see if they suit your needs.

    More talk at E3 of GameCube's demise...

    Numbers don't lie. Furthermore, why would Nintendo give up on the Gamecube when there are countless millions still to be made? Metroid Prime 2, Mario 128, Mario Kart DD, will all be million sellers. If third-parties want to drop Nintendo, that is unfortunate, but does not signal the demise...

    DOOM 3 offically annouced for XBOX

    Carmack himself said earlier in an interview that the Xbox version would retain all the visual fidelity of the PC version. The Xbox version of Doom3 shown at their press conference during E3 blew away most of the audience. Also, remember that the Xbox has much less overhead than a PC, and...
